The matter was explained in a response in the pertinent thread, to the message of which I posted a copy in this thread. Apparently, the crashing of the web browser, was due to some malicious flash file that Inshite had on their web site home page. Various other malicious web sites, have and cause, similar problems. Different web browsers deal with vexatious issues, differently, some involving less disruption than others. Unfortunately, as the particular web browser is ( a number of web browsers that come with Debian, are) unsupported, so problems such as crashing due to malicious web sites, are not usually fixed by the people who were responsible for the web browsers development. Unfortunately, also, different programming methodologies have different standards of dealing with problems, and I believe that the teachings of some tertiary level academic institutions, leave much to be desired, in what they teach. Some institutions that I attended, taught people to trap and contain problems, and one institution taught people to crash software upon experiencing problems - that institiution taught that the way to implemenmt exception handling, was to crash the software, when an exception occurred. So, it can be a problem with the exception handling methodologies that are taught and implemented, apart from the designing of web sites that are malicious, and, the two combined, cause instability. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
